What's to clarify? Simply put, we were told if we already bought the T5 Neb and Excel, or that if we purchase the T5 Neb and Excel before F2P launch, the T3 versions would also be unlocked for us come F2P. In other words, the T5's / T3's were only going to be separate purchases after F2P launch.

If it does turn out we were supposed to get the T3 versions if we purchased the T5 prior to F2P conversion, will you refund those who bought the T3 who should have gotten it with their previous T5 purchase?

Here is the deal. There seems to be some misinterpretation of my following statement, and an error on my part:

"BTW, if you bought the T5 excelsior, you should be able to continue to claim the both the T5 and T3 variant. Only going forward will they be sold separately (BTW, the T5 Excelsior is getting reverted on Tribble to the way it is on holodeck now. You may have to discard your tribble T5 Excelsior and reclaim it to fix it. The T3 Excelsior is just plain getting better. This change to the T5 Excelsior is not in yet, but it's on its way). In fact, any item that changed from an account unlock to a character unlock, or any purchase that gave you something in the past that it no longer gives you (like the T5/T3 Excelsior and Nebula bundles) will be honored, and was always planned to be honored, and nothing less was ever implied."


What I was saying was if you purchased a T5/T3 Excelsior or T5/T3 Nebula bundle before Season 5 went live, then "you should be able to continue to claim…both the T5 and T3 variant (once season 5 goes live)". I have been informed that that bundle was never released. I was under the impression that some players had purchased this bundle, which is what the statement assumes. However, this was an error and said bundle was never actually made available. My statement never meant to imply in any way to go buy a T5 Excelsior now because when Season 5 comes out, you will get a free T3 Excelsior. Our goal, as we have always stated, was that we would continue to honor any purchase made before any Season 5 changes. I sincerely apologize if there was any confusion.

If anyone made a C-Store purchase before Season 5 went live, and your ability to claim that purchased item has changed, please let us know and we will work to correct the discrepancy.

Hope this clears things up.

I was confused by your original statement and incorrectly believed that if you purchased the T5 version in the C-Store prior to S5 you would still have access to the T3 version for EC post S5.

I am not upset at all mind you.. But I did interpret your original statement differently than you present it now.

Thank you for the clarification.

So what you are basically saying is you messed up, you know it, but we still aren't getting the FREE T3 vesrions of the Nebula and Excelsior to go with the T5 versions we allready bought?

It would be nice if Cryptic would simply choose to give us the T-3 versions of these two ships. However, it is not usually reasonable to expect that a business honor a mistake of this nature (which would be, for example, similar to mislisting the price, features, or model number on a piece of merchandise). What they are obligated to do is offer a cash refund for anyone who can show evidence that they purchased one of these ships because of this misleading statement.

I will probably be requesting one in the next few weeks.

Where can I give this Feedback? Bug tickets aren't worked upon.

I honestly don't care, but just a point... You say:

That is a lie, there was no implication in your statement, you directly said:

IE, the only conclusion that can be made from the above statement is that if you bought the T5 Excelsior pre season 5 when you made that statement, you WILL get the tier 3 version post Season 5.

That said, I dont care if I have to purchase the Tier 3 variant, I personally dont need it, but I can see others are annoyed

So, we've been mislead by yet another Dev. how unsurprising. Seriously, you all should just keep your word and give the T3 to those who had the T5, or bought the T5 based on this information. They did things based on your post and now you change it. Twice in a matter of a few weeks the player base has reacted to something a DEV said, only to have it changed on them, to Benefit Cryptic, again.

your word guys, to be totally honest, is just about worthless now.

I guess I'll repeat what I said in the other thread:
